Hopefully any mass outpouring of support to people who have been made slightly uncomfortable and inconvenienced by Sandy will spill onto people who live in complete poverty and fear every minute of their lives. Homeless people have been without power for more than a minute - charging their phones isn't a concern. People of NYC got to see what a shelter looks like -- let's hope they do more than blog about it.

the homeless have those really huge old radio shack phones that are the size of bricks. they recharge them from the oversize batteries in Mercedes-Benz's parked on the streets late night. they do what they have to do, and they manage to get by, poor reception and all

Most of the homeless I see on a daily basis charge their phones from a lamppost in the park. It seems like a pretty flawless system.
